The feature article this time is a little different. It is a newspaper article that addresses a speed limit issue for boating in New Jersey.  Though it specifically applies to the New Jersey region, boating speed limits are becoming more and more common throughout the country and is something that has been a concern to many of us for some time now.  The following demonstrates how by uniting together we can sometimes successfully fight these proposals...for now.  For our part, we all need to do safety checks before every outing and boat responsibly and respectfully around other boaters and cottagers.  Please also review Coast Guard regulations and make sure your boat conforms to all regulations.  We always need to show others that high performance boating can be done responsibly, and not give them any reasons for wanting to impose these speed limits, though we all know some are never satisfied due to preconceived misconceptions.  We also need to be aware of the agencies in our areas and their attempts to try to take it upon themselves to get these laws passed.  Thanks to Bruce Freilich for sending in the article below.
